The title of this article " 7 Stocks that won't let you down" is false. There are NO guarantees when you play the Wall Street Casino. Even the safest stock can lose value or give you minuscule returns.

It reminds me of something else that is false that i heard exactly 4 years ago : YES WE CAN !!!

Amazon's revenues are slowing. They reported a 96% plunge in profits. Every business they are in is a low margin business with no pricing power. Their sire is a conglomeration of third party vendors whose prices are not competitive. Infact, Amazon has very expensive prices compared to other sites such as newegg.com,restockit.com,overstock.com,shoplet.com, onecall.com and THEFIND.COM. Pick a product you want to buy and within a few minutes time, you will find that product much cheaper elsewhere. If you bought it on amazon you overpaid.
Amazon trades at this level because it is predominantly owned by Bezos' hedge fund buddies and Princeton alumini. They manipulate the stock in collusion with fomenting and circular trading among other tactics. Bezos' spending has not paid off for the last ten years and he has only become wealthy by selling overvalued shares of amazon. He could not take enough salary from amazon to have become a billionaire as there is not enough profit left. 
The Kindle Fire is a subpar device with a very high return rate. Why should one pay $79 per year to belong to amazons prime when what they offer with it can be found elsewhere for free.  When wall street has a falling out with Bezos, there is 200 points to the downside on amazons stock. Do your research and you'll find that amazon engages in some pretty creative accounting to arrive at the numbers on their income statement. They do not account for returned products and cost of sales on the balance sheet. They are reported obscurely elsewhere. Amazon also drags payments out to vendors by more than 120 days this also grossly over inflates their financials.
Apple and microsoft report billions in profits even after expense and taxes and their stock sell off on the reports. Amazon completely misses estimates, guides lower for the next quarter, reports a 96% drop in profits avoid its sales tax responsibility and Wall street pushes the stock up 16 points. Its blatant manipulation at its finest. I would not want to be left holding this stock when the party ends.
